bajo la vía láctea

“ I have nothing now but praise for my life. I’m not unhappy. I cry a lot because I miss people. They die and I can’t stop them. They leave me and I love them more. What I dread is the isolation. There are so many beautiful things in the world which I will have to leave when I die, but I’m ready, I’m ready, I’m ready.

— Maurice Sendak

TateShots: Maurice Sendak

“Herman Melville said that artists have to take a dive. And either you hit your head on a rock and you split your skull and you die — or that blow to the head is so inspiring that you come back up and do the best work that you ever did. But you have to take the dive, and you do not know what the result will be.”
